My building drawings specify a W250 x 33 steel beam in the basement. What is the equivalent size for an engineered wood beam?
There are no direct conversions between steel beams and PSL wood beams. The steel beams in your floor system could be replaced with engineered wood beams. When you bring your plans in for a floor joist takeoff let our estimator know you would like the support beams sized. Where the spans are within the capacity of PSL beams we will include them in your floor quotation.
